## Summary

The Luton Council is seeking to contract a Universal Floating Support Service aimed at providing essential assistance to vulnerable individuals within housing settings. This service will focus on promoting tenancy sustainment, budgeting, and life skills, while ultimately helping service users avoid eviction and hospitalisation. The procurement process is at the award stage, with the contract valued at £3,420,000 and set to commence on 1st October 2022, lasting until 1st September 2027. The industry category for this tender falls under social work and related services, specifically in England.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses positioned in the social care sector, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in support services for vulnerable populations. Companies offering expertise in tenancy support, life skills training, budgeting advice, or similar social welfare services would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contracting process could strengthen their market presence while contributing positively to community welfare initiatives.

The objective of the contract support is to ensure issues such as tenancy sustainment, budgeting and life skills are supported to enable the Service User to remain accommodated and/or avoid admission to hospital and consequent loss of their accommodation. Luton is committed to supporting citizens and vulnerable people to maintain their homes and their tenure, regardless of tenure type. This commitment is the main driver behind the commissioning of the Universal Floating Support Service that also supports the wellbeing and prevention and community safety agendas as well as complimenting the CARE ACT 2014.
